I don't like the guy but 5 titles is not underwhelming. Who has more, John Wooden and nobody else? I do agree he has had some big time talent and underperformed lately but 5 titles is 5 titles.

Yea it’s a little bit underachieving. Wooden has 10, Jim Calhoun has 4 and Pat Summit has 8 and Geno 12 and of course in football Saban has 7 and counting

You realize you just named four legendary coaches across 3 different leagues that have more. Just 4. Tennessee men's basketball, football and baseball don't have 5 titles in our existence. I guess everyone in entitled to their own perspective but

Just because you don’t agree with them.

If UT hired Coach K in the late 70s instead of Devoe and won 5 titles over 4 decades would your opinion still be the same of Coach K? He transformed Duke into a basketball powerhouse and essentially averaged a NC every 8 years. I don’t believe Duke was considered a household name in college hoops before he arrived. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.

When you consider Wooden teams played when the NCAA field of 32 had only 1 or 2 possibly legitimate contenders every year (only had to win 4 games) vs. Duke having to win 6 straight games in a field of 64 with increasing parity across the country through the years, 5 titles is not what I would call underachieving.

I doubt that an extra game versus a 16 seed would have been a problem for Alcindor or Walton.

The 32 team field required 5 wins, not 4.

Giving several months notice is the responsible thing to do. 2 weeks notice doesn't really cut it at that level of responsibility.

I look forward to hearing something sanctimonious and hypocritical about him doing so before NIL took effect, as if it being above board is worse.

Hell, I’m just pumped that Barnes gets us to the dance almost every year. I don’t quite know how I’d feel about 5 national titles.
GBO!!
